About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Longitudinal Multicenter, Nontreatment, Exploratory Biomarker Study of Metabolic Syndrome in Subjects Undergoing Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Bariatric Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is rapidly emerging as an epidemic of global proportions and its definition is still evolving. Patients with this syndrome are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, and at increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease.

Metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with obesity, and more specifically with abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity, comprises two main components: visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue depots, with VAT reported as more metabolically active than SAT, and thought to play a major role in the metabolic disturbances associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is fast becoming the most common liver disease and is associated with obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Bariatric surgery has yielded dramatic results including longitudinal loss of excess body weight and either complete reversal or significant improvement of several features of metabolic syndrome, NAFLD, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in obese patients.
